Vagal afferent and reflex responses to changes in surface osmolarity in lower airways of dogs
Pisarri TE, Jonzon A, Coleridge HM, Coleridge JC
Journal of Applied Physiology · 1992
Key finding
Our results suggest that non-isosmotic fluid in the lower airways initiates defense reflexes by stimulating pulmonary and bronchial C-fibers and rapidly adapting receptors.
